All I hear about is “boomers” this, “Millennials” that, “Gen Z” that, etc.

Why no one talk about Gen X? What happened to them? They just vanished like in Infinity War? Or are we mistaken Gen Z by Boomers?

    I bought a 386 motherboard that needed a patch. Not software, but by soldering a wire between two pads. You just basically figure it out and went from there with a soldering iron.

    Build the computer from parts? Sure. Soldered it like it came as discrete components? Also sure.

    Tech savvy is often in context of when you were learning in your teens to early twenties and then what of that skill set is still applicable today.
